Built for cyber
Basalt's Lot Fourteen practice has been working cyber threat profiles long enough to know which controls actually move the dial — and which line items quietly waste budget. We bring that pattern recognition in week one.
Lot Fourteen, Australia
AI Governance & Risk in Lot Fourteen.
Generative AI governance and AI risk management delivered for cyber teams in Lot Fourteen, Australia. AI governance that engineering teams will actually use — model and dataset inventory, risk tiering, red-team requirements per tier, and approval workflows that do not become the AI bottleneck. Mapped to NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001 where it matters.
90% of in-scope AI systems inventoried in the first 60 days — across Basalt operations in the past 12 months.
THREAT VECTOR
Threats facing Lot Fourteen cyber.
The cyber, space, defence concentration around Lot Fourteen sees targeted intrusion, supply chain abuse against client tooling and analyst-credential theft. Our ai governance & risk work in SA / Adelaide cyber and space precinct is scoped against this real threat profile, not a generic checklist.
Common pains
- No inventory of AI models, MCP tools or agents in production
- Generative AI policy that engineers route around
- Board-level AI risk appetite that doesn’t map to controls
ENGAGEMENT
How we engage.
- AI system inventory across models, agents, MCP tools and datasets
- AI risk tiering tied to red-team and approval requirements
- NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001 control mapping
- Governance workflow that integrates with engineering, not parallel to it
Reporting
Every finding ships with a control reference against ASD Essential Eight and SOCI Act, with ACSC guidance cited where it changes the remediation priority. Board reporting follows the APRA CPS 234 expectation set.
LOCAL CONTEXT
Local context.
Basalt delivers ai governance & risk to organisations across Lot Fourteen and the wider SA / Adelaide cyber and space precinct region (population ~2k). The cyber, space, defence sectors that anchor the region face a distinct threat profile — targeted intrusion, supply chain abuse against client tooling and analyst-credential theft — and our engagements are scoped to that, not a generic playbook. Reporting maps cleanly to the ASD Essential Eight and SOCI Act that Australian boards already use, with regulator context (ACSC) called out where it changes a remediation priority.
RATIONALE
Why Basalt for ai governance & risk in Lot Fourteen.
Reporting that lands
Findings ship with control references against ASD Essential Eight and SOCI Act and remediation guidance written for the team that has to action it. Your board, your auditor, and your on-call engineer all get something they can use.
No vendor bias
Basalt doesn't resell tooling. Australian cyber clients get an independent read on what's working, what isn't, and what's costing more than it should — not a thinly-veiled sales pipeline.
2026 THREAT LANDSCAPE
What we test for.
- Agentic AI tool-abuse and indirect prompt injection at scale
- MCP server and AI-tool supply chain compromise
- Post-quantum cryptographic readiness (NIST PQC migration)
- Identity-first attack chains across federated SaaS
- Open-source software supply chain (post-xz, post-tj-actions)
Cyber security in Australia can't be done with last year's threat models. The Basalt practice runs against current attacker tradecraft — agentic AI abuse, MCP and AI-tool supply chain, post-quantum readiness — alongside the legacy infrastructure work that still keeps most organisations awake at night.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How fast can Basalt start a ai governance & risk engagement in Lot Fourteen?
Most Lot Fourteen engagements scope inside one week and start within two. Retainer clients can trigger work the same day. We do not pipeline Australian clients through junior teams — a senior consultant scopes and runs the work end-to-end.
Do you do ai governance & risk on-site in Lot Fourteen or remote?
Both. Sensitive work — classified-adjacent environments, live incident response, OT walkthroughs — gets on-site time in Lot Fourteen and the wider SA / Adelaide cyber and space precinct region. Routine assessments and detection engineering run remote with a tight feedback loop.
How does Basalt map findings to Australian regulators?
Every finding ships with a control reference against the ASD Essential Eight and SOCI Act so your compliance team is not re-mapping our report. Where ACSC guidance exists for the specific finding, we cite it inline. Board-level reporting follows the APRA CPS 234 expectation set.
What makes ai governance & risk in Lot Fourteen different from a generic engagement?
The cyber sector concentration in Lot Fourteen drives a different threat model than a generic Australian engagement — targeted intrusion, supply chain abuse against client tooling and analyst-credential theft. Our scoping reflects that, and so does the test library we bring to the work.
Is Basalt set up for AI-era threats, not just legacy infrastructure?
Yes — this is core to how we work. Basalt actively researches and tests against agentic AI tool-abuse and indirect prompt injection at scale, MCP server and AI-tool supply chain compromise and identity-first attack chains across federated SaaS. Most regional providers haven't mapped these attack paths; we run them in production against client systems with explicit scope.
